Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 467

Chapter 467

Hiram knew that his mother and I were as different as oil and water, so it surprised me when he believed what I told him.

His blues eyes widened in disbelief, “Really? Mommy apologized to me?”

I blinked in surprise and then nodded assuredly, “Yes, she said she had no choice but to make you do what she did. She usually avoids discussing it with you, but since she doesn’t get along well with me, she was pretty candid about it. So, you don’t have to hide anything from me.”

The kid felt like he was starved of affection.

It didn’t make sense. Even if he was deprived of love, it would be from his father. Karina, his mother, had been raising him alone. She couldn’t have been that bad, could she?

The moment he heard Karina had apologized to him, he dropped his video game. He looked at me with hopeful eyes, “What else did Mommy say?”

I racked my brains to concoct some things Karina allegedly said to Hiram, all of which were positive. My intuition told me that Karina might not be so nice to her son in private.

I didn’t understand why. After all, Hiram was her child with Neil, the only heir to the Whitmore’s fortune and her golden ticket into the Whitmore family. Why wouldn’t she cherish him?

“Were you scared when your mom told you to follow your dad on your own?” It was time to get back to that question.

Hiram let his guard down. He nodded, “I was scared!”

I continued, “And when she said that the message sent to Uncle Mitch was from you, were you upset? Your dad might not like you if he knew about it.”

I was gently leading him on.

Hiram was not only afraid that Karina didn’t like him but also terrified that Neil wouldn’t. So, without a second thought, he replied, “I won’t blame Mommy. Besides, she said Dad loves me so much, and he wouldn’t hate me!”
